7.Gravitation
medium
The height of any point $P$ above the surface of earth is equal to diameter of earth. The value of acceleration due to gravity at point $P$ will be : (Given $g=$ acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth)
A
$g / 2$
B
$g / 4$
C
$g / 3$
D
$g / 9$
(JEE MAIN-2022)
Solution

$g =\frac{ Gm }{ r ^{2}}$
$g ^{\prime}=\frac{ Gm }{(3 r )^{2}}$
$g ^{\prime}=\frac{ Gm }{9 r ^{2}}$
$g ^{\prime}=\frac{ g }{9}$
